It a simple forum to follow, Unite All the Voices as One, then the message will be heard. Because the youtube system flags so many comments, i will approve them and re-post to complete the interface program. We search for information and so do a lot of people in the form of documents.

Soldiers and civilians in the vicinity of exploded DU munitions are exposed to respirable-size particles of uranium trioxide (UO3) that may be inhaled or ingested, exposing them both to chemical toxicity and low-level radiation. As the debate has beco me increasingly politicized and polarized, the rhetoric has gotten in the way of the science, as both activists and military officials have made claims not backed up by science. http://www.helencaldicott.com/depleted.pdf Teratogenicity of depleted uranium aerosols: A Review from An Epidemiological Perspective. Depleted uranium (DU) is a man-made, radioactive, heavy metal derived from uranium ore. Naturally occurring uranium ore (rock in which the uranium concentration is approximately 1,000 or more parts per million) is mined and processed to yield a much more concentrated substance, one that is virtually pure uranium. Natural uranium exists in three isotopic forms and contains 99.274% U238, 0.72% U235, and 0.0057% U234 by weight. DU, a byproduct of uranium enrichment, has an isotopic content of 99.75% U238, 0.25% U235, and 0.005% U234. As part of the effort to secure fissile uranium, many thousand tons of DU have been generated. http://www.ehjournal.net/content/4/1/17 Depleted Uranium: A Post-War Disaster For Environment And Health With contributions of: Felicity Arbuthnot · Rosalie Bertell · Ray Bristow · Peter Diehl · Dan Fahey · Henk van der Keur · Daniel Robicheau Laka Foundation May 1999 http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article4406.htm Military Toxics Project http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article4406.htm#MTP Some of the U.S. Government's Documentation of Harmful Effects of D.U. Weapons Avoiding or Minimizing Encounters With Aircraft Equipped With Depleted Uranium Balance Weights During Accident Investigations, FAA Advisory Circular 20-123, by M.C. Beard, Dec. 20, 1984: Still in effect today, this 17-year-old advisory bulletin from the Federal Aeronautics Administration, it puts the lie to industry, Pentagon, UK and NATO denials of health risks associated with DU exposure. The 1984 memo warns FAA crash site investigators that, “if particles are inhaled or ingested, they can be chemically toxic and cause a significant and long-lasting irradiation of internal tissue.” U.S. Army Mobility Equipment, Research & Development Command, March 7, 1979, states that: “Not only the people in the immediate vicinity (emergency and fire fighting personnel) but also people at distances downwind from the fire are faced with potential over exposure to air borne uranium dust.” [From Freedom of Information Act request response to the National Gulf War Resources Center, 1224 M St. NW, Washington, DC 20005, September 22, 1997, Chris Kornkven.] http://www.nukewatchinfo.org/du/20030131cadu.html FAIR USE NOTICE: This may contain copyrighted material the use of which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.
